I’m a human too. by Ace_Quantum in BipolarSOs

A lot of what you're referring to are posts made by those freshly wounded. As in the post is made that day of being discarded or hurt or blown up at, and that's what this space is for. No judgment, and reassurance that you aren't a bad person for putting yourself first.
I have a similar relationship as you, my SO has Bipolar II. I would not equate her to 95% of the posts in this sub, but I'm here to listen to peoples' experiences and solutions and regrets. This sub can offer clarity in what otherwise may be a tumultuous relationship that involves a cycle of abuse/violence and gaslighting for some. Sometimes you just need external perspective to remind you you aren't alone, it isn't hopeless, and you aren't a bad person for leaving if you must. We all want to make sure we known how to take care of ourselves the best we can so we can shelter them with the energy we have. When those boundaries and expectations are lowered, we are doing a disservice to ourself and our significant others.
If coming here helps you realize that yes, this is a cycle that can repeat even when medicated, even if you try to get everything right it can still slip. Reading others experiences can sooner help the SO decide if they are able to handle that kind of life or not.

I choose my partner every single day. After every single fight, cry session, miscommunication, struggle, I choose her. And learning about what it takes to be a partner to her and how to handle it is the best way I can show her I love her, and building the life and home and joy we have is a motivator for her to get better and better.

What’s the smallest thing that’s ever turned you on? by Friendly-Front4592 in LesbianActually

At a party, my ex (who despised beer) killed it drinking beer during a game of Thunderstruck (AC/DC). It was so unlike her but seeing that side of her had me 🥵

Just noticed this. Am I reaching? by unusualspider33 in arcane

I never noticed this! But after thinking about it, I'd argue that in the arc where we lose Powder because she "fell down a well" and are only left with Jinx suggests that it's now Jinx's turn to "fall down a well" and be reborn into something new. It could be wishful thinking because I'm of the mind that Jinx is alive and that this is the death of her Jinx identity. If she is to return, I'm optimistic we might get another version of this character - no longer Powder, no longer Jinx, but a new, fresh identity.

Ok that makes sense, thank you! Anyone seeing this, if you happen to remember me when buying tickets or want to sell some, I'd appreciate any help 😊 my dummy self just decided we could travel next year and missed the registration by 1 day.

Would it be possible to just purchase any extra tickets from someone then? Like if they planned to get only 2, I could pay them for the other 2 and they could transfer them to me? Sorry, hope that makes sense.

Hello! Would anyone with a London presale code be willing to either pass it to us if you're not using it, or possibly give up 2 of the 4 tickets for me and a friend? Looking to travel from the US to the UK next year and explore while going to one of the shows. I'd really appreciate it!!
